Bedfordshire BEDFORDSHIRE [Transcribed and edited information from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland - 1868] "BEDFORDSHIRE, an inland county of England, bounded on the north-east by Huntingdonshire, on the east by Cambridgeshire, on the south-east and south by Hertfordshire, and on the west by Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire. In form it approaches a long oval; but its outline is very irregular. It is about 35 miles in length from north to south, and about 22 miles in its greatest breadth. It has a circuit of about 145 miles, and comprises an area of 462 square miles, or about 295,582 acres. It is one of the smallest counties in England, three only containing a less area, viz., Huntingdon, Middlesex, and Rutland. It is situated between 51° 49' and 52° 21' north lat., and between 0° 10' and 0° 42' west long.

This district of South Britain was included, at the period of the Roman invasion, in the territory occupied by the tribe of the Cassii, probably the same as the Cattyeuchlani. Under the dominion of the Romans it formed part of that division of the country which was called by them Flavia Caesariensis." (There is more of this description ).

The Danes captured t and held it, were thrown out by Edward the Elder, but returned again in 915 and were routed with great slaughter. Ninety-five years later they burnt the town. The Normans had a strong castle there, and there is still a high mound behind the Swan Hotel to mark where the great keep once stood.

There have been sieges of Bedford since then, but the bloodshed ended when Henry III hung William de Breaute, defender of the castle, in 1224; since when it has known peace save for that brief incursion of Prince Rupert and his cavaliers when they captured the town in 1642. Today Bedford is clean, brisk and mainly modern. Even the Bunyan Meeting House was rebuilt in 1849, and its magnificent bronze doors given by Francis, Ninth Duke of Bedford, date only from 1876. Sharnbrook, Shefford and Sandy are large villages or small towns, as your fancy pictures them, and each has that air of agricultural prosperity, the panorama of well-farmed fields and tidy woods, the glimpses of mansions in pleasant parks, the memories of Roman camps and roads. At Chicksands, near Shefford, is the old house of Chicksands Priory, standing in a large park and formerly owned by the Osborns, who have been lords of the Manor since 1576, when Peter Osborn was Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer of the Exchequer and Keeper of the Privy Purse to Edward VI.

He was imprisoned in Queen Mary's reign, but under Queen Elizabeth rose in the esteem of Lord Burleigh, and became a High Commissioner for Ecclesiastical Affairs. And there, in an outspread map of neat and progressive towns, with their modern and unobtrusive industries; of old villages and straight Roman roads that knew the tramping legions and the dusty coaches; of villages that lived by milking stool and plough; of market gardens that send their strings of lorries thundering through the night to London; and of great houses sitting in ancient parks, some, alas now forlorn and cast on lean days, you have a picture of this unobtrusive English county through which, placid and peaceful, winds the broad and reedy Ouse, the river that is alike the backbone and the wealth-giver of these flat lands and the gentle hills which flow down from empty skylines. A Cake or Bake for Every County: The Counties of England A Cake or Bake for Every County Aiming to find a tasty treat for each and every traditional English county Tuesday, 3 January 2012 The Counties of England I am increasingly interested in the history of baking recipes, particularly the geographic origin.

So often a region’s produce would determine the creation of a recipe; nowadays, thanks to supermarkets, what your area produces is less important in governing what you bake or eat. For instance, I live in the region of England that grows nearly all of Britain’s cucumbers...do I eat more cucumbers than you? Probably not. As a little side project to my Caked Crusader blog , I am going to try to find a cake or bake (tart, pie, biscuit etc) for every county in England. I expected drawing up a list of counties to be an easy task – the work of seconds with the assistance of the internet. Think again! Counties are a minefield (not literally, thank goodness). They change for postal and governmental reasons far more often than you’d think, so I have decided to use the traditional counties (also called the historic counties ) as my guide. If you’d like to read a little more about the traditional counties The Association of British Counties website has more information on it than you could ever wish for!

I can’t do this alone – if you have a recipe for a cake, pie, tart or biscuit linked to where you live then please, please, pretty please, consider sharing it with me. I can be emailed via the “contact me” button displayed on the right hand side of my site. Thanks in advance!
